In addition to the nauseating injuries to Corey Hill (whose broken leg is seen from a different angle above) and Razak Al-Hassan (who, let’s be honest, brought it on himself, even if Cantwell was a dick about it afterwards), UFC’s "Fight For The Troops" could go down as the Gettysburg of UFC cards due to the sheer number and gruesomeness of the injuries. That is sadly ironic when you consider that F(2)T(2) was a benefit show for injured soldiers.
Obviously Yoshiyuki Yoshida needed medical attention after being knocked out by Josh Kosheck, though there’s no word yet on how he’s doing this morning.
CBS Sportsline reports that Jonathan Goulet was also taken to the hospital immediately after being knocked out by Mike Swick in order to undergo a brain scan. He also may have torn his MCL when he crumpled up in an awkward position as a result of the blows, said his agent, Ken Pavia.
Then, of course, there’s Brandon Wolff, who received stitches for facial lacerations and definitely needed a series of rotating ice packs for that lump on his head. Pavia, who is also his agent, in true Drew Rosenhaus fashion, said Wolff may have briefly lost vision in one eye early on in the fight after one of Saunders’ head kicks ended up sticking a toe in his eye.
Man, when the guy who gets out of there with only stitches, a messed up face, and an eyeball that’s been toe-poked is considered to be much, much better off than most of the other guys who suffered losses on the same card, you know it was a rough night. Please UFC, for the sake of your fighters, no more benefit shows. The roster just can’t take it.

commentsGet well soon my fellow 6'4'' 155 pound lanky freak of nature.
i just watched that, and that is terrible.
i puked a little bit..
did i say little, i mean buckets
just remember who told ya first
fucking 3rd world monkey.
There's a big difference. Cory's injury was accidental and we all went to see it out of curiousity and to find out exactly what happened, not to beat off to his agony. I don't enjoy watching people getting seriously injured that's not why I watch mma.
None of us broke Cory's leg, none of us are happy it happened (I would hope anyway), none of us "waited forever for that", and we didn't gloat about it... so how are we anything like cantwell?
Cantwell is a dick.
All of you complainers, went and watche Corey Hill break his leg, as soon as you heard about it. Why? Because you want to see someone break his leg. You are no better than Steve Cantwell.
